Coming Back

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

April 14, 1993

HAVING RECENTLY lost my son to AIDS, I think often about God and how he does things. Having followed the story on the Waco standoff (or is it the ''Wacko'' standoff?), I can't help but believe that if God did choose to come back to us and walk with us and teach us, he surely would not come back to the Jimmy Swaggarts, the Jim Bakkers, the Bob Joneses or the David Koreshes of the world, but instead would choose the Billy Grahams, the Martin Luther King Jrs. or the Mother Teresas of this world, who stood and stand for peace, love and understanding.

Anyone who actually believes that God would select David Koresh (or is it ''Vernon Howell''?) would consult the Church Lady on Saturday Night Live. She asks, ''Could it be - Satan?'' Maybe she has something there!
